This report highlights the findings from a study into English language teachers’ attitudes and preferences for using technology for professional development in South Asia.

The study was conducted with the support of the research agencies ZingerLabs and EZ Vidya, based in India, and surveyed 892 teachers across the region. Focus groups were conducted, along with interviews with interview experts and school leaders. The report also aims to highlight many of the existing initiatives in South Asia where teachers use technology for professional development and provide the reader with a clearer understanding of the regional digital context. Using what we have learned, we aim to continue working in partnership with UK and South Asian organisations and institutions on teacher education projects, using technology appropriately and creatively to achieve our common goals.
